The nature of God, His very essence, who He truly is, can easily be misconstrued. Because God reveals Himself both as a God of love, and a God of judgement; a God of forgiveness and a God of punishment and, in the end, eternal damnation. 

No wonder people are confused. No wonder some ridicule Him on the basis of the apparent incongruence of those two profoundly different aspects of His nature.
